This page is for the collector who knows that Etta James belongs in the same sentence as any artist who ever bent a note toward the truth, and who wants her music on physical media worth keeping.
The selection here spans studio records, live sets, gospel collections, and early singles. On the CD side you will find Seven Year Itch, Stormy Monday and Other Favorites, the double-disc Complete As and Bs 1955-62 on Acrobat, two volumes of Greatest Gospel Hits on Curb, and a pair of live documents in Live and Ready and Red, Hot and Live. On vinyl, Jackpot Records brings Rocks the House on standard LP and Second Time Around on a colored pressing. Whether you are filling gaps in a deep soul collection or coming to James for the first time through her gospel and blues roots, there is a real entry point here.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has been covering the artists who define American roots music since 1974. That history informs how we stock the store: not every release, but releases that hold up. The Relix Sessions series represents live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, a direct extension of the editorial commitment that has guided the magazine for five decades. When we carry a back-catalog title like the Acrobat two-disc set or the Jackpot colored vinyl pressing of Second Time Around, it is because these are the editions that belong on a shelf built to last.
All titles are new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date and ship when the label releases them. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If Etta James is the starting point, the collection connects outward in several directions. Soul and R&B Vinyl and CDs covers the broader genre she helped define. Blues Vinyl Records goes deep on the tradition that runs through her catalog. Live Vinyl Albums and Records is the place for concert pressings across the whole store, and Colored Vinyl Records and Limited Variants is where to look when the pressing itself is part of the point.
